Freaked me out

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2003)

I just saw "28 Days Later", and I admit I was pre-disposed to like this movie, because I am a Danny Boyle fan (I loved "Trainspotting" and liked "A Life Less Ordinary") but holy crap... this movie freaked me out.
The zombies were so fast and spastic, they were like the bad guys that chase you in your dreams. The digital video made everything strobe-y and immediate and was a brilliant choice, IMO. This is a grim, ugly story that ends up being beautiful because the filmmakers decided to give humanity a break... but it doesn't feel forced or saccharine like Hollywood would have done it.
